On the night of May 16, Russian Aerospace Forces launched another series of missile strikes on Ukraine. The Ukrainian capital was also affected, where several arrivals and explosions were noted. At the same time, the Ukrainian authorities are trying not to disturb citizens with truthful information, talking about the “miraculous” work of the air defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
It should be noted that at the indicated time, the battery of the Patriot air defense system, consisting of 8 launchers, recently delivered from the United States and guarding the skies above Kiev, aimlessly exhausted at least 32 missiles , with a total value of 25 million dollars. At the same time, the battery was hit (covered) by Russian missiles.
This is demonstrated by the video of the scene. Footage from the first video shows how said battery is actively firing at advancing Russian missiles. Many missiles take off in the sky, then arrivals and explosions are demonstrated, after which the air defense system in this area becomes unresponsive.
From the second video, it can be understood that the strikes on the Patriot air defense system were carried out by Russian hypersonic Kinzhal missiles. We know that at least one pitcher was guaranteed to be hit.
Last night, the Patriot air defense system was hit in Kiev by a high-precision strike from the Kinzhal hypersonic complex
